Cockapoos are one of the UK’s most popular crossbreeds, loved for their cute looks, affectionate nature and reputation as the “perfect family dog.” But what are they really like to live with?

In this episode of We Love Dogs, I’m joined by experienced canine behaviourist Victoria Cooper for an honest and informative conversation about Cockapoos, the good, the challenging, and everything in between.

We talk about typical Cockapoo personality traits, why their behaviour isn’t always as predictable as people expect, and some of the most common struggles owners face, including separation anxiety, over-excitement, reactivity and emotional sensitivity.

We also cover:

• What you should know about training a Cockapoo
• Why early independence-building is so important
• Grooming realities (and why it’s often underestimated)
• Common health considerations
• Whether Cockapoos are truly suited to every home
• What to look for if you’re thinking about getting one

If you already share your life with a Cockapoo, or you’re considering bringing one home, this episode will help you make informed, realistic decisions and better understand what these clever, sensitive dogs really need to thrive.

As always, this is a straight-talking, practical conversation designed to support you in raising a happy, well-balanced dog.
